    I came across your video trying to research my trouble with 2017 Ford Expedition. My Battery is dead so my FAB doesn't work. Also, key doesn't work to open the 1 door lock. I can't get into cabin. From your spare, how could you ope it from the outside with hood locked...thought about un-bolting the 2 screws , yet that would only give an inch or try more fiddle room. Any ideas? Thanks Paul.

      @paulpurdom8440 that's unusual that the key wouldn't work to unlock your truck. I would suggest calling a locksmith to try to unlock your truck. They will likely have the tools to work the tumbler and at least get you into your truck. From there you can pop the hood release and access your battery. I hope this information helps. 👍

    Glad you like your car. Too bad you don’t get to drive it that much. I was ready to buy a new Mach 1 when they first came out and trade in my ‘17 GT Premium w/PP. But when it came out, the price and similar look to the GT (along with those round fake fog light design on front grill) turned me off. I looked into the GT350 and decided it was a better choice for me. I landed a 2019 with 6k miles for less than $60k. I’ve had it four years now, and 30k miles later..I still love it. The voodoo engine matched with the tremec 6-speed is just pure joy. For those who want a powerful, fun Mustang with an auto tranny… I suggest the GT500 over a Mach 1 or Dark Horse.

      @JimRasmussen-l2b sounds like you have a great car! You found what you were looking for at the right time. I looked at the GT 500 when I was shopping for a Mach 1. Honestly, I could not justify spending almost twice as much as the Mach 1 cost to go with the GT 500. I like the look of my HP car, and I would've bought it regardless of which transmission it had. There weren't many Mach 1s available at the time I was looking for one. Most had large dealer mark ups on top of the MSRP. Fortunately for me I bought my car without having to pay a mark up. I didn't get to drive it much this past season but I'll make up for it next summer. Enjoy your car as much as you can, cheers! 👍👍

      @dhill835 they are front fender wheel lip extensions. They were usually shipped separately from the car and the dealers installed them. Mine were not installed at the dealership, and I received them a few weeks after I took delivery of my car. I integrated them with the side skirt extensions to make it all look like it was originally installed that way. I also added the GT500 front end fender extensions on the front of the fenders. They were a bit of work to adapt them, but it looks good. I have a video on both of those modifications.

      ​@musclecars92 it just so happens there is more to making a fun drivers car than boring "fast shifting" automatics lol. The 10 speed is prob the most overdone and overrated trans in history. They do well na because the gearing is like a crutch but aren't needed with big power and don't hold up that well to big power they even have alot of issues stock. All the 10r fanboys act like it was touched by the hand of God and is utterly perfect but they have alot of problems. I truly love the art of driving a manual too much I can't ditch that for a boring auto i just cannot do it. That said all the auto rev match bs is almost as bad. I want a manual because I want to DRIVE the car I don't want it doing it for me.

If I find that I absolutely need it I can always add the parts that make up the HP later.

    I agree the automatic is faster than the manual. I just prefer to row the gears. It's more of an exciting experience for me to have a manual. I'm not racing the car. It's fast enough for me as a manual and I just prefer to shift gears. By the way, your Mach one looks amazing. Love that color.

      @cobra20500 Well, that's your opinion. I'll assume you have the manual transmission in your Mach 1 HP car. Am I correct in my assumption? If so, then you speak from your personal experience. I've driven stick for many decades. I'm ok not having to shift. At the time I bought my car, I had no choice. It was either buy that one, in my preferred colour and with the handling package, or get another car in a colour I didn't want and pay a huge dealer uncharge on top of it all, just to get a manual. I wasn't going to do that. I've had my car for almost three years now, and I'm very happy that I decided to buy it, even with the automatic. No regrets.

    It’s just a question of having your own gears to slam onto or just holding a steering wheel and letting the car shift. Opinions vary. Autos are just boring AF to me. Just my opinion! You don’t have to throw BS insults like “ boy racer” whatever the F that means. The Mach 1 is an amazing car either way! I owned a GT500 w the new DCT and I sold it for a Mach 1 manual. I love my Mach. They aren’t fast cars but to me, it’s a lot more fun having useable 470 HP vs 700 plus unusable HP. Either way, you have a beautiful car brother. I have the Fighter Jet with handling appearance and elite pkg. they are awesome cars! Ford def hit it out the park with this one!

My video came off a bit snarky towards the manual fans. I drove the manual Mach 1 at the track attack in Charlotte. I had a blast with it on the track! In any case, I would've bought my car regardless of which transmission it had. I've had lots of manuals, but this time I bought this car for a different type of use. I'm very happy with the automatic in my car. It suits the driving I do, especially in gridlock traffic, lol! Keep on building your car to your tastes. But most of all, drive the car as much as you are able. It has enough power to be a lot of fun! Cheers! 👍👍

    At least backlight repair on an LG LCD is easier than doing front lighting on the Cadillac DTS. LGs seem to have a reputation, whether rightful or not, for great image quality (in their better-calibrated ISF modes or whatever they call it) and subpar backlights. And as an added bonus, the panel isn't glued in. Folks on the forums just recommend running the backlight at the dimmest tolerable setting to preserve them. For models made in the last ~10 years though, even 70% is plenty for a bright room.

      @Browningate you are absolutely correct! Compared to doing the lights on my DTS, taking apart my TV was easy, lol! As it ended up, it was a ribbon connected to the main board that needed attention. I did adjust my settings. Since I made the video, the TV has performed flawlessly. But, in case I ever have a an issue, I kept the new light strips. I now have the experience to pull the TV apart and repair it if necessary. However, if it ends up unrepaired, I will likely shop a different brand to replace it. 👍👍

      @Browningate that was good diagnostic work! I wasn't as thorough initially. The picture went black, and from my research I assumed it was an LED backlight issue. That seems to be the most common failure point on those TVs. But after testing each LED strip it was apparent that was not the issue. Somehow, through possible heat cycles, one of the ribbon cords attached to the main board had become an issue. This is not a typical failure point, but it was the culprit in my case. Next time, if my TV fails, I'll be checking the capacitors too.

      @LarryMacDonald-iw2qj the plastic spring isolator might be the problem. It was on my truck. They had "melted" causing the rear to clunk. The likely culprit was the oil spray I had done to my truck. The plastic and soft rubber on those trucks is very suseptible to swelling and degrading due to aftermarket oil spray products. My previous GMC Canyon had the soft rubber headlight seals swell as a result of an oil spray. For the record, GM doesn't recommend any sort of oil spray or rust proofing. Yet, because I live in an area that gets snow and uses a lot of salt or brine to coat the roads, I chose to oil my truck. There are drawbacks. Among them is the swelling of the soft rubber and "melting" of other plastics. You have to weigh the benefits against the consequences of oiling your truck. I was fortunate to have mine repaired under warranty. It must have been a "one-off" situation in my case.
